CV NEWS FEED // The Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) is included in House Republicans’ omnibus tax bill, US Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-LA, announced May 12.
Cassidy, a chief sponsor of the ECCA, said in a post on X that the inclusion of the act in what President Donald Trump has called the “one big, beautiful bill” is a victory for parents and children.
Cassidy and US Sen. Tim Scott, R-SC, led the introduction of the ECCA, which offers a charitable donation incentive for people and businesses who help fund scholarship awards to offset expenses for qualified students’ public and private primary and secondary education, according to a press release from Cassidy’s office.
“For years I’ve advocated for school choice with my Educational Choice for Children Act. I am pleased to see it included in the big, beautiful bill,” Cassidy said in the release. “Expanding President Trump’s tax cuts is about preserving the American Dream. Giving parents the ability to choose the best education for their child makes the dream possible.”
